How does messenger RNA (mRNA) get out of the nucleus to become a protein? Eukaryotic mRNA is packaged, exported, and then translated in the cytoplasm. But how do these steps work? And what are open questions? Check out our new review for our take: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... (1/3)

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

New challenges Explore the challenges currently open for Expressions of Interest.

Great opportunity! Please do get in touch if teams are forming around 'Rewiring Cancer Cells' we can include our spatial transcriptomics, long read RNA sequencing, high throughput image analysis www.cancergrandchallenges.org/new-challeng...

For many genes, the RNA and protein levels change in opposite directions with age.

Yet, they correlate positively within an age group.

I wasn't convinced of the first Xodus mainly due to the alternatives not being ready. While now, this platform is ripe and ready, also a big fan of decentralisation. I do hope past mistakes are not repeated and this becomes a place where great ideas flourish.

I would love to join!

Glad to be here!
